Promising reviews: “I have been using this product for a few weeks now, and I love it.
It is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into my skin. It leaves my face feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated. I have dry and sensitive skin, and this moisturizer does not irritate or break me out.
What I like most about this product is that it contains hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance that helps retain moisture in the skin. It also has a pleasant scent and a nice gel texture that feels refreshing on the skin. The only thing I would change about this product is that it does not have SPF, so I have to apply a separate sunscreen on top of it.
However, this is not a big deal for me, as I prefer to use a separate sunscreen anyway. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone who has dry or normal skin and is looking for a hydrating and gentle moisturizer. It is one of the best products I have tried from Neutrogena, and I will definitely repurchase it.
” — Julian Fiori “I recently got the Clinique moisture surge moisturizer as a gift with a makeup purchase and loved the feel of the gel-like moisture on my face. After it was gone, I decided to try this seemingly similar moisturizer given the price — with hopes that it would have the same soft, silky feel. It’s spot on, feels fantastic on the skin, is very hydrating, and has a very nice and light fresh smell .
” — Jen “ Never have been a big fan of any large corporate facial products. As I’ve aged, my skin has changed and I’ve tried a TON of products in it. This moisturizer soaks in.
My makeup doesn’t feel like it is sitting on top of cream, getting ready to flake off. So far, it’s the best I’ve found!” — Lisa price “ I live in the high desert Southwest, and I’m a senior. This gel absorbs quickly and helps to prevent wrinkles and roughness.
I use it after washing my face and only patting the face dry. The slight moisture on my skin and neck helps to spread this gel smoothly and without needing to use a lot of product.” — AZBunny “ This keeps my face and neck moisturized and feeling comfortably fresh.
It goes on smoothly like a gel, and it dries quickly. I use a vitamin C + caffeine serum as a second step for added skin nourishment. Then I add a SPF 30 sunscreen.
The second step is by choice. I have worn it alone with SPF 30 Sunscreen. SPF 30 sunscreen is important to keep your skin young looking; also to protect against sunspots and wrinkles.
I recommend this product. I also recommend reading a bit about dimethicone, which is an ingredient in this product.” — K.
Williams72 “ This is such an awesome moisturizer. It feels cooling and luscious going on but immediately melts in and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy. I have acne and hate it when moisturizers feel greasy.
This is perfect. One elderly friend refers to it as a miracle in a jar ― her 90-year-old skin looks amazing. It works for my teenagers as well.
It’s awesome for all ages.” — Tossy “ Ok, so as a regular user of HIGH-END products, I was originally skeptical of this Hydro boost moisturizer from Neutrogena. I recently had my makeup professionally done for a wedding and voiced my concern of dry skin to my makeup artist.
She used a beauty blender to apply this hydro boost mixed with a small amount of L’Oréal Glotion — I was WOWED!! (And purchased both.) This stuff is remarkable!! I am VERY prone to breakouts and extremely sensitive to fake chemicals, smells, and fragrances. This moisturizer is absolutely heaven-sent! A little goes a long way, and it gives me a young, youthful glow! I am sooo happy I found out about it, and I must say it’s wonderful on its own AND under makeup!!! It is a wonderful product and at a great price point!!” — AZBunny Get it from Amazon for $11.
